The Marketing Scales Handbook is indispensible in identifying how constructs have been measured and the support for a measure's validity and reliability. I have used it since the beginning as a resource in my doctoral seminar and as an aid to my own research. An electronic version will make it even more accessible to researchers in Marketing and affiliated fields.

loyalty

Composed of four, seven-point Likert-type items, this scale measures a customer's intentional efforts to reduce the level of interaction with a business in several ways.

Using four statements with a seven-point response format, the scale measures the likelihood that a customer would travel on a certain airline again in the future.  Wagner, Hennig-Thurau, and Rudolph (2009) called it loyalty intentions. The scale is phrased hypothetically because participants were responding to a fictional scenario.

The scale is intended to measure the intensity of a customer's positive feelings towards a certain store.

Four, seven-point Likert-type items are used to measure the degree to which a customer believes his/her relationship with a company is based on the personal service that comes from being treated as an individual.

The degree to which a consumer believes that a particular brand has had a strong emotional impact on him/her is measured in this scale with three, seven-point Likert-type items.

To measure a customer's level of attachment to a business, this scale uses five, seven-point Likert-type items.  The scale is similar in nature to several measures of commitment in the database.  This one was called customer-company identification by Homburg, Wieseke, and Hoyer (2009).

Three, seven-point Likert-type statements are used to measure the degree to which a consumer believes that a particular brand has had a strong effect on one or more of his/her senses.

Using four, seven-point items, the scale measures the degree to which a person believes there are benefits to being a customer of a company that come in the form of preferential treatment.

The scale uses three, seven-point Likert-type items to measure the degree to which a consumer believes that his/her use of a particular brand has evoked cognitve activity.

Four, seven-point Likert-type items are used in this scale to measure a person's motivation to disengage from interacting with a business.  The reason for the avoidance is not stated in the scale but will need to be provided somewhere in the instrument to frame the questions for respondents.
